transparency.

COMMENT box in the NEW IMAGE dialog box for? It can be used for name and copyright
information. It can also be used for more information about the picture.

new objects in GIMP, why is it advisable to create them on a new layer? It makes it easier to make more
changes to the picture after the fact.

describe the purpose of the following drawing tool options:
· Mode Offers the same list of modes as
the Layers dialog.
· Opacity Transparency percentage.
· Scale Controls the sizes of the
brushes.
· Fade out Makes a line fade. Different than
transparency.
· Jitter Adds randomness to the line.
